So after the happy accident of squatting in my boots and realizing it helps me crush my depth and the fact my back has been feeling good, I've been really enjoying doing squats again. While I still have yet to do much heavy work, there is a certain sense of glee and anticipation of squat day. I haven't had this in like nearly a decade, so this has been nice. Yesterday was a pretty solid squat day even though going in, I felt like ass. I do find it funny, I always warm up with the bar. I can't even hit anything that begins to resemble a quarter squat with just the bar. I end up looking like I'm ratcheting myself down while I try to warm up with it. Each one is just a tad lower than the last one. When I finally put plates on the bar, then it's like oh yeah, hammies can touch the calves now. So that's nice. Okay, so like I said, pretty easy day, just a decent amount of squats with just enough time between sets to lower the bar on the rack and my partner to do his doubles. Anyway... numbers...
Squats 135x5, 155x5, 165x5, 185 10x2, speed feels good on all of them, coming out of the hole super strong, I know it's not heavy, but I know most people who read this know my history of squatting, so it's the little victories, next week I'm going to start going 225 for my doubles.
Cable sidebend burnouts 100 x75 each side. I was toast after that.
